Why these defaults?

The country code comes from ISO 3166. Unicode CLDR supplies presentation-oriented locale, currency, paper, date, language, calendar, numbering, and direction metadata. Defaults reduce setup time; they do not decide what a valid document must contain.

Recorded official or regional-official language tags: zh, ug, za, mn-Mong, bo, ko.

Document vocabulary and checks

State Taxation Administration sources support the cited fully digitalized invoice particulars, identifiers and tax-digital-account boundary. Record retention is not yet evidenced here, so this pack remains partial. Taxpayer eligibility, quota, special categories, red-letter workflow, validation and transmission remain transaction-specific checks.

  • Guidance: China's State Taxation Administration specifies that fully digitalized e-invoices include invoice name and number, issue date, buyer and seller information, item name/specification/unit/quantity/unit price/amount, tax rate or levy rate, tax amount, totals, remarks, and issuer. The tax authority assigns national invoice numbers and manages issuance through a tax digital account; a browser preview cannot obtain that authority-issued number or use the tax e-invoice service platform.Evidence CN_STA_FULLY_DIGITAL_INVOICE, CN_STA_INVOICE_RULES · reviewed 2026-07-18 · review by 2027-01-18 · automation advisory only
